A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Originally published in 1930, Gaito Gazdanov’s An Evening with Claire is a masterpiece of Russian émigré literature. Written when its author was just twenty-six—with the memories of his harsh years in the Russian civil war still hauntingly vivid in his mind— An Evening with Claire is a psychological novel that is both grand and introspective. Gazdanov’s fist novel is at once an intimate and sensual account of a young man’s coming-of-age, and a tribute to the shattered dreams of the early twentieth century. As Jodi Daynard writes in her marvelously informed introduction, An Evening with Claire “presented pre-revolutionary Russia and the cataclysmic events which destroyed it in a manner both real and wistful, unregretful yet tender.”

Biographie de l'auteur :

Gaito Gazdanov was born in St. Petersburg in 1903. He joined the White army at age sixteen and was exiled in Paris, after passing through Constantinople. Before becoming a writer acclaimed by the Russian émigré community in Paris, he worked on barges, trains and in an automobile factory, and was sometimes homeless. A member of the French Resistance during World War II, Gazdanov died in Munich in 1971.
